I got the exact same one, despite the description that it fits a Goldwing, it doesn't - it just fits over my Piaggio 250 scooter.   The quality of the material is good for sub $20.00 delivered, but don't expect it to keep the bike dry if it gets rained on, it's just a light cover and keeps the dust off

I have not bothered to return it (as it fits the Piaggio), the old Piaggio cover was too big, so it's now over the Elite camper trailer, and the Mighty ST13 has its cover.   All's well, that ends well.

Marcus,

Here is a website with "hoochies"
http://www.wellingtonsurplus.com.au/listProduct/militaria/hoochies


Pezzz,
UHF CB aerial issue.  Hadn't thought about that.  Good thing mine is stainless steel and spring mounted.  :grin   :hijacked

I don't have a cover for mine as it is always garaged at home and is a daily commuter.  At work we have shade/rain sails where I park the bike. 

But this thread has given me ideas that for those blowy rainy days at work, it would be handy to keep the rain off. And for Overnighters/travelling.

6 yrs ago I went lQQking on ebay for my bike cover, I found 1 ad that said for large bike with topbox.  $10 so I ordered it. it arrived and there was no way it would fit my bike  :well  so I gave it to a friend with a Yamaha xs1100. 
I then went back to ebay and found an ad with 2hrs bidding left where no previous bids had been placed. I waited till about 2 mins left and placed the 1ST bid $1.00 and won the item,  It arrived and fitted STranger, top box and all.  its STill being used  only I loST its STorage bag. :fp
 $1.00 ebay great buy... with free postage..  :rockon

I got a large Aldi outdoor cover a while ago. Fits well, but can't remember how much, but probably very cheap, but definitely more than $1!. I notice that the week after next, Aldi will have bike gear on sale again. Have to wait to see what they've got, as some of their stuff is OK.

This one fits my 1300 with top box perfectly. Also fits 1100 as BillSteff has one and he recommended.
Need XL size. Handy slot for disc lock. Central clip is awkward to attach tho. Available online.
Approx $50 + delivery. Not cheap but good quality.


Yeah, Just ordered one of these myself seeing as the bike lives outdoors (old cover from the USA has started to leak quite badly and that cost over $70). I think the extra money is worth it. I have a couple of Oxford products and I'm pleased with them so I thought I'd stick with a brand I know and happy with.

I just remembered this.......better late than never..........lol

So far the cover has held up a few winter and spring storms. The cover does have a couple of clips but I've never needed to use them. I have to be careful when removing the cover as there has been times when it's got caught between the bike and the side case so now the side case area is last on, first off.

Still as new on the bike today.

I have a full cover for home in the garage, doesn't get used much when the ST is actually going. For travelling I use an army hutchee because they are waterproff and roll up to almost nothing. They can also be stretched quite tight to provide better protection.


Grumpy,.....  do you have any photos?

Hi guys
I'm looking for a new "full" cover and was hoping that someone could post some pics of the following covers on an ST1300...
The RJays
And the Oxford

And advise what size the cover is

This is the one have for when the bike is clean (not often) for home use.

Size XL fits nicely
